No Moment

Argent and I just sat for nearly five minutes at our usual Internet cafe for a quick game when my phone rang. It wasn't in my registry, and it was just by chance that my phone wasn't dead.

Curious, I went outside and answered the call. What greeted me was a formal tone asking my name.

"Yes, this is Copper" I replied.

"Would you happen to be interested in becoming one of our technical support personnel? We-"

My mind went blank. I couldn't understand the next few words that he was saying. I tightened my grip as I became slowly overcome by a bittersweet feeling.

"Sir, where did you get my resume...?" I had doubts, so I had to clear them first.

"oh, you were in-"

I didn't mind what he was going to say. I know I'm doing a rude thing, but I already had a few thoughts about it. It was most probably at the job fair at school, or someone in the school was nice enough to do it. I really didn't know which.

"Sir" I stopped him. "I'm very sorry. But I'm still at school as of the semester. I'm still in my OJT. I will have to turn down your offer" I said, with much regret.

"oh, sorry to take your time" he immediately hung-up.

I looked at the gray, rumbling sky above me, closed my eyes, and calmed myself down with a deep breath.

two months is all I ask....

I went back inside the shop, and immediately, everyone noticed my blank expression.

"what was it?" Argent asked.

"A... job offer" I reluctantly said.

"What'd you do?"

"rejected it. It was full time and immediate hiring."

"ojt?"

"sadly"

It was at that moment that I felt that it won't be happening again anytime soon.
